During my time at MWC 24 earlier this year, I was able to get a chance to get some hands-on time with the RedMagic 9 Pro and this confirmed that I wanted to find out more. After some exchanging of emails, I now have said phone in my possession and it is time to review it. So without further delay let\u2019s dive into the review below.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Design<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief unboxing video showcasing the phone.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"responsive-embed widescreen\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro - Unboxing for Coolsmartphone.com\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z3l_-ixPmlQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the biggest things when it comes to a gaming phone and the RedMagic 9 Pro (hereafter referred to as the 9 Pro). The phone has some very specific gaming cues. Time to take the tour around the device starting from the top edge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192626 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156986619725399547224392493602-700x525-1.jpg\">On the top of the device, we find one of the side-firing speakers along with an IR blaster for controlling IR-equipped devices. In addition to this is something that is a bit of a rarity these days, a 3.5mm headset jack is sitting up there on the top. We also find one of the pinhole mics and some of the many antenna line breaks.<\/p>\n<p>Moving around the right-hand side we have a lot going on so let\u2019s go from the edges in.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192627 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156986626524785616912814940602-700x525-1.jpg\"> On the edges, we have the RGB shoulder trigger buttons which can be configured within games. The RGB lighting can be set in different modes from the software which we will cover more later on. The trigger buttons support up to 520hz touch detection making them very responsive for use in games. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192617 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156986614403481302443038593153-700x525-1.jpg\">Next, we have one end of the fan channel, I believe this is the exhaust vent but I could be wrong. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192623 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156986612864010153119829432839-700x525-1.jpg\">Next, we have the volume rocker switch which has good feedback and is distinctive when compared to the sleep\/wake\/power switch. The next thing here is again a hint at the gaming focus of this phone as we have a dedicated home mode slider switch. by moving this switch towards to power key then the phone will enter into its gaming mode where you have all the toggles from various software-led functions. I will cover these more later in the gaming section of this review. The last thing of note here is the presence of another pinhole mic.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192618 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-1715698661595164025369570893743-700x525-1.jpg\">On the bottom edge of the phone is another one of the side-firing speakers another pinhole microphone and the USB 3.2, Type-C with DisplayPort functionality, for plugging into an external display. This port will also support fascharing if you use the correct charger and the phone will charge at up to 80W giving a pretty good 0 to full charge time of under 35 minutes. We also have a dual SIM card slot.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192628 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156986617967910333085321982806-700x525-1.jpg\">Moving around to the left-hand side of the phone apart from the usual antenna break we have got the other end for the fan channel which I think is the intake end.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192600 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"527\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156967587327017220647850782565-700x527-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>On the rear, we have got a fair amount of things going on alongside some graphical exuberance <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192620 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-1715698660943366203630046408781-700x525-1.jpg\">In the top right-hand corner we have a reference to this being the 9th Generation of RedMagic phones with a 09 that will illuminate when the phone is in gaming mode. Coming down from his but sticking to the right-hand side we have the \u201cWin More Games\u201d text written on the rear panel with the Redmagic Logo at the very bottom right. On the left-hand side at the bottom edge, there is again some text outing the phone brand name REDMAGIC and then as you move up the phone there are more text references this time under the camera array we have Ice Cooling System written around the middle section. above this is where things get a bit more interesting. we have what looks to be three camera modules in a vertical stack, however, this is not the case. The bottom of the stack is a very small but powerful fan. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192605 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"527\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156967591434908322230093694581-700x527-1.jpg\">This fan will spin at a speed of up to 22,000 RPM and is fully customisable with RGB as well fitting into the gaming phone vibe very nicely. The fan can be quite loud when it is operating at max capacity but in normal use, it is barely audible over the background noise.. I have got is set to be one most of the time. I will hear it ramp up to full speed if I have it fast charging but otherwise it will just spin away pulling cold air through the cooling chamber for me.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192604 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"527\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156967590674848480131239177690-700x527-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Above the fan, we have two camera sensors which are both 50mp sensors one being an ultra-wide and the other being the normal aspect ratio. I believe that the lower of the two cameras has also got an OIS which is a first for a camera on a RedMagic gaming phone. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192609 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"527\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156967595197850577418349146855-700x527-1.jpg\">Both cameras feature a 7-element lens and the sensors are from Samsung manufacturer. But that is not all as we also have an additional 2MP sensor off to the side sitting below the dual LED flash. This camera is there to pick up the macro shots duties as you would expect in this sort of set-up. Above the 2MP Macro camera is a Dul LED flash light which will also pull double duty as a torch if required.<\/p>\n<p>A few things to note about the back cover is that this is incredibly slippy despite there being a texture to the glass panel which means that unless this is on a flat surface it will slip off things and make its way to the ground a lot. There is a clip-on shard plastic case included in the box but this does little to negate these inevitable tumbles. You can also buy an additional case from the RedMagic store but I cannot see this helping this situation much further. I have combated this by purchasing a skin for the rear panel which provide just enough grip to stop is sliding away from me all the time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192601 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"527\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156967589941704459075533261334-700x527-1.jpg\">Moving around the the front of the phone is where we have the display along with the camera but we will come back to that in a moment. The display itself is really large and the panel under the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 surface is maxed out as much as possible. The screen is a 6.8 inches FHD+ panel and it is of the AMOLED variety. It has a brightness of up to 1600nits with a colour accuracy of \u25b3E\uff1c1. The Screen-to-body ratio is 93.7% which is one of the highest I have used recently, and it has a resolution of 2480 x 1116 with a PPI of 400. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192631 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156986631393930242540207623811-700x525-1.jpg\">The panel has a refresh rate of up to 120 hz (this can be adjusted in software). There are a couple more gaming-specific stats as well that I need to share and these are that the Instant touch sampling rate is 2,000Hz, with an overall sampling rate of up to 960Hz multitouch. I presume that these are meant to indicate that it will pick up on detections of input a lot quicker in fast-paced games.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192632 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/wp-17156986624882538982333084530913-700x525-1.jpg\">Well, that concludes our tour of the device\u2019s exterior. But as with all phones, we also need to investigate what is under the skin of the phone, in the hardware section.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Hardware<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Firstly

aspects that will take this from a regular phone to begin a gaming hone as all the other hardware is very commonly seen on most high-end phones these days, there are however some exceptions to this which I will cover later on in my review.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cooling system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As this is a gaming phone let\u2019s start with the cooling system as this is the real headline grabber for this phone. As you can see from the specs sheet above the 9 Pro has got quite an elaborate system in place for cooling which is a combination of both heat dissipation foils and thermal pastes and active cooling via the cooling fan itself. The fan is a very small component as it is smaller than the diameter of a 5-pence coin. That being said it is very intricately built as it has 59 0.1mm fan blades that are capable of up to 22,000rpm to pull air into the cooling duct. As you will be able to imagine this cooling duct is where the main heat dissipation happens with the components that are generating the heat being located close to the cooling duct. The image below shows the various elements in more detail.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192638 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"700\" height=\"421\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-15-at-08.55.18-700x421-1.png\"><\/p>\n<p>You can see from the above image that the Snapdarogn 8 Gen 3 Chip is located on the underside of the cooling channel to give the optimum exposure to the airflow being managed by the fan. In addition to this, there is an extensive area of thermally conductive material on the midframe to help stop any heat coming through the display from the motherboard. All of this means that the *gen 3 Chip can run at higher temp fro longer meaning that it can push more calculations through. This in turn will mean faster processing of files, quicker video rendering and most importantly for buyers of this phone a better gaming experience with higher frame rates being provided in the game with more fluid motion characteristics etc. There is however one very minor downside to this and that is that when you have got the fan cranked up to max it is audible.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-192639 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" width=\"600\" height=\"414\" title=\"RedMagic 9 Pro   Review\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mutopiaproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-15-at-08.56.14.png\"><\/p>\n<p>I have recorded this small clip to give you an idea of the difference between the fan on and off.
